They say cougars are older women that get with younger guys, how young are the guys usually?

1. I would say 10 years younger or more in an age gap, so technically she would be a cougar. The guy does not need to be in his teens, its simply a large age gap

2. What you’re describing is statutory rape.. it’s illegal and definitely not the same as being a ‘cougar’

3. i admit i had a brief but passionate relationship with an older woman when i was 19.

   she was 56 and looked 40.

   absolutely zero regrets.

   i realize in my sunset years that this was probably a pretty fucked up thing for her to do, but to be honest, it was mostly my idea. i feel like she kinda “went along with it” a little bit because i really, REALLY wanted to fuck a much older woman.

4. Don’t get hung up on labels. She has a few more years before 50 hits her like a freight train, so she needs to get it while she can. Be a pal and help her out with that.

5. She’s technically old enough to be your mother i.e have a child your age so yes. She’s definitely a cougar.

6. don’t call her that and don’t call yourself anything either. Just enjoy the time, don’t get your friends so invested and involved in these types of things. It’s going to create a wedge without you realizing it.

7. Ewwwww! I’m a cougar, but teenage boys are illegal. They are children. It is NOT okay to engage with them in any capacity.

   I’m 44 and casually seeing a 24 year old. He might be too young. Talking to a 29 year old and a 34 year old.

   Any woman messing with a minor is a p€.døphiL£.

8. Young enough to not realize they are being used.

9. Why does it matter?

   What difference does it make if she is in the “cougar” category or not?

10. A 10 year gap or greater is cougar territory.
